ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO

2

emissions.

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gen-

tly, change up without waiting and

drive by changing up quite soon. If

your vehicle has the system, the gear

shift indicator invites you to change

up; it is displayed in the incstrument

panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-

box, stay in Drive

"D" or Auto

"A" ,

according to the type of gear selector,

without pressing the accelerator pedal

heavily or suddenly.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehi-

cles, use engine braking rather than the

brake pedal, and press the accelerator

progressively. These attitudes contribute

towards a reduction in fuel consump-

tion and CO

2

emissions and also helps

reduce the background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if

you have cruise control, make use of

the system at speeds above 25 mph

(40 km/h).

Control the use of your

electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger

compartment is too warm, ventilate it by

opening the windows and air vents be-

fore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-

dows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment

that can help keep the temperature in

the passenger compartment down (sun

roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless

it has automatic digital regulation, as

soon as the desired temperature is at-

tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting

controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as

possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front fo-

glamps on when the level of light does

not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving

off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will

warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting

your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,

video game...), you will contribute to-

wards limiting the consumption of elec-

trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before

leaving the vehicle.

18

Limit the causes of excess

consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;

place the heaviest items in the bottom

of the boot, as close as possible to the

rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle

and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,

roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use

a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after

use.

At the end of winter, remove snow

tyres and refi t your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations

on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,

when cold, referring to the label in the

door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

before a long journey,

-

at each change of season,

-

after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the

tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (en-

gine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe the

schedule of operations recommended by

the manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after

the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid

any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only

after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-

tres) that you will see the fuel consumption

settle down to a consistent average.

Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation (operation or

deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp

concerned.

Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible

signal and a message in the multifunction screen.

The warning lamps may come on

continuously (fi xed) or fl ash.
Certain warning lamps may come

on in two different modes. Only by

relating the type of illumination to

the operating status of the vehicle

can it be ascertained whether the

situation is normal or whether a

fault has occurred.

Service indicator

System which informs the driver when

the next service is due, in accordance

with the manufacturer's servicing

schedule.
The point at which the service is due is cal-

culated from the last indicator zero reset. It

is determined by two parameters:
-

the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last ser-

vice.

More than 1 000 km remain before

the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the spanner symbolising

the service operations comes on. The

distance recorder display line indicates

the distance remaining before the next

service is due.
Example: 4800 km remain before the

next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the display indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched

on, the spanner goes off ; the distance

recorder resumes its normal operation.

The display then indicates the total and

trip distances.

Less than 1 000 km remain before

the next service is due
Example : 900 km remain before the

next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the display indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched

on, the distance recorder resumes its

normal operation.

The spanner re-

mains on to indicate that a service

must be carried out soon.

The distance remaining may be

weighted by the time factor, de-

pending on the driver's driving

habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also

come on if you have exceeded the

two year service interval.

Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is

switched on,

the spanner fl ashes to

indicate that the service must be carried

out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by

300 km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the display indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched

on, the distance recorder resumes its

normal operation.

The spanner re-

mains on .

Service indicator zero reset

After each service, the service indicator

must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as

follows:
) switch off the ignition,
) press and hold the trip distance re-

corder zero reset button,

) switch on the ignition; the distance

recorder display begins a count-

down,

) when the display indicates "=0" , release

the button; the spanner disappears.

Following this operation, if you

wish to disconnect the battery,

lock the vehicle and wait at least

fi ve minutes for the zero reset to

be taken into account.

This is indicated by the fl ashing of

If the low oil level is confi rmed by a

check using the dipstick, the level must

be topped up to prevent damage to the

engine.

This is indicated by the fl ashing of

"OIL --" . Contact a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

Refer to the "Checks" section to locate

the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your

engine.

There are 2 marks on the

dipstick:
-

A = max; never exceed

this level (risk of dam-

age to the engine),

-

B = min; top up the lev-

using the grade of oil

suited to your engine.
